Chapter 2
Brittany quickened her pace, grabbing Isaac before he could hop into the car, “You’ve got it all wrong, this isn’t our ride!”
Isaac’s icy gaze fell onto her hand
He had a thing about cleanliness, didn’t like people touching him!
Nathan froze in place
Why was Mr. Salter coming out of an alley with a woman?
Brittany pulled Isaac aside and whispered, “This ain’t our car, ours is over there”
She gave the car a quick glance, a Rolls–Royce Phantom!
Her family was loaded, but not to the extent of buying her such a pricey vehicle!
ww
Isaac’s scrutinizing gaze fell on Britany. Did she really not know his identity, or was she pretending not to know?
The Saber family had been all over the news recently, she really didn’t recognize him?
Brittany turned to Nathan, “Sorry, sir, my husband had a drop too much. He’s still not sober, so he got the wrong car
Nathan, who was observing this scene, was stunned.
What, husband?
Mr. Salter?
Nathan gave Isaac a shaky glance, not daring to reveal his identny readily, “No problem”
What happened, did Mr. Salter get hitched overnight?
Brittany’s car was parked on the other side of the alley, a BMW Miri that she bought with her own savings.
Isane withdrew his gaze
He signaled Nathan to leave with his eyes.
Since she was playing dumb about his real identity, he would play along
Nathan caught the hint and quickly drove off
Watching the car drive away. Brittany let out a sigh of relief, “That scared the life out of me! That car is expensive. If you’d gotten in, I couldn’t afford the © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
This man had a good taste!
Isaac was speechless.
If he’d gotten in just now, he’d be rearly at the office by now.
He pulled his hand away, speaking in a cold and indifferent tone. Take me to Grandeur Capital”
Since she chased his car away she had to take responsibility and drive him there.
Brittany walked to her car, opened the door, and gestured for Isaac to get in, ire you applying for a job at Grandeur Capital?”
The guy was unemployed and now heading to Grandeur Capital so he must be job hunting
Isaac got into the passenger seat, casting a disdainful glance at the various pink decorations in the car. This woman had such an unbearably tacky tastel Brittany started the cat casually asking “What’s your educational background?”
Grandeur Capital being a top–tier company in the business world, even the receptionists were postgraduates from prestigious Universities.
She thought Isaac must have a high educational background. He seemed refined, not like someone with a low level of education,
“Bachelor’s degree.”
He had planned to study abroad for his master’s after graduating, but for various reasons, he eventually gave up his studies. Brittany secretly sighed, thinking that probably wouldn’t work out.
But she couldn’t crush Isaac’s confidence, 1 have friends at Grandeur Capital need help?”
Her bestie Hannah Chester worked in HR at Grandeur Capital, so she might be able to help
Isaac found her too noisy, rubbing his temples in annoyance, “Just focus on driving”
He regretted it
If he had known last night, he would have controlled himself, then he wouldn’t have to deal with such a chatterbox Seeing that he seemed to be angry Entiany didn’t dare to continue taking, and dropped him off at the building “Give me
The man gave her his number, without saying anything else.
Then he got out of the car.
I went up to the 23rd floor to the CEO’s office.
Nathan was already prepared, “Mr. Salter, the meeting is about to start”
our phone number.”
16:44
Look Into Brittany
Nathan was taken aback for a moment at the name Brittany then Immediately recalled the woman he had seen in the morning and understood, “Yes.”
Brittany drove back to the Dustin family’s mansion, feeling oppressed as if a boulder was pressing on her chest.
She was betrayed by her longtime boyfriend and her own lather. Just thinking about it made her sick!
Years of companionship, all gone in an instant!
As soon as she stepped into the living room, Robert Dustin was waiting for her, “How dare you come back? Now come with me and marry that man Brittany took out the manage agreement, casually waving it in front of him, “Sorry, I’m already married.”
Did her father want to sell her? In his dreama!
Robert was furicus, and slapped her, “Brittany, have you gone mad”
This wastiel daring to get married on her own!
Bntlary dodged Roberts slap, saying coldly. I’m already married, don’t even think about selling me now!”
Robert was so angry that his eyes rolled back,
Brittany’s stepmother Gianna Terrill put her arm around his shoulder, continuously add ng fuel to the fre, “an, marriage is such an important matter. How could you decide it all by yourself?”
Bntiary scoffed, “My mom’s long dead, and so is my dad as for getting married? As long as I agree, that’s enough.”
Robert roared, “Bitch You ungrateful girl I’ve wasted over twenty years raising you! Get out of this house now!
A curse!
Robert was both angry and resentful, she was married, no longer a virgin, what about the million dollar wedding gift Johnny promised him? How was their famry gorg to get through this cris?
Brittany didn’t want to stay here even for a day, she directly went upstairs to pack her stuff, left with her suitcase.
Stepping out of the villa, Brittany realized she had
The money her mother left her was still with Robert!
Impulsively
She was dirt poor now with just a BMW left, she tock out her phone, found Isaac’s contact, and dialed it.
The call was answered after a few rings, then hung up.
Brittany was confused.
After several attempts, someone finally picked up on the other end, with a low and husky male voice. “Who’s this?”
“Hey, it’s Brittany L.
Before she could “nish, the call was cut off and a beep beep beep” sound was echoing
Hung up on, agar!
Isaac ended the call tossed his cell aside, and carried on with his meeting
When the meeting ended, it was already six in the afternoon
Back in his office, Nathan handed him a stack of papers. Mr. Sater, I’ve found out, Brittany is the heiress of the Dustin family She grew up with Firm Boulton, the young master of the Boulton family. But apparently they’ve just broken up.”
“Really?”
She just broke up, no wonder she was wasted last rightl
“Ms. Dustin is downstairs, probably waiting for you!
Nathan cautiously said. He had noticed a scratch on Mr. Salter’s neck during the morning meeting Clearly, something happened last night! Isaac didn’t expect Boefany to be still around. After a moment of thought, he ordered, “Arrange a site for me”
“What?”
ent be adamant about staying in the old house?
Nathan didn’t understand Mr. Saber’s intention. Wasnt he adamant
“The simpler and planer the better.”
Brittany, being the privileged daughter of the Dustin family and Finns ex–girlfriend, was likely to be well prepared.
If Brittany thought of him as a poor guy, he would play along to see what tricks she had up her sleeve.
Nathan was efficient. Within half an hour, he had chosen a two–bedroom apartment for him.
Isaac look the keys and went downstairs
Bittany had left home with nowhere to go. All she had left was a car. At seven in the evering, she finally saw sanc
She opened the car door and slepped out.
“Mr. Salter over herer
Isaac walked over, his face indiferent. “What are you doing here?”
Did you hang up because you were busy when I called you?”
Brittany didnt answer his question, but asked instead. She found it impolite. Even if he was busy, he could have said so, instead of hanging up without
I remembered he had hung up on her, his expression unchanged. “Sorry was busy all day!
“No problem. I had a fight with my family and got kicked out. Can you keep me for a whip?”
As long as he didn’t hang up on purpose.
Seeing his hesitation, Brittany quickly added, “Don’t worry, I can share the rent equally Well go Dutch on everything!”
She wouldn’t take advantage, but she was really broke now.
Isaac paused for a moment, “Okay”
Brittany got into the car and asked, relieved, is it the same old house from this morning?”
“No, I rented a house”
He didn’t want to bring Brittany back to the old house. The house was a family hentage, every piece of furniture was valuable and sent mental He gave her the address, and she started the ear
Half an hour later, looking at the neighborhood in front of her, Brittany’s mouth fell open she turned to Isaac, “Are you sure, this is the neighborhood you rented?‘
